What is your favorite movie quote of all time.

Mine is

"I'd like to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair!'

Bette Davis as Madge in Cabin in the Cotton, 1932

 

[hydralique]

So many to choose from!

My all time favorite movie quote is from Polyester. Francine Fishpaw (Divine) is busy in her own bathroom while here evil mother, LaRue (Joni Ruth White), is waiting outside for them to go shopping. Distressed at losing "valuable shopping time", LaRue rudely opens the bathroom door on poor Francine and catches her sitting on the toilet. With a look of disgust, LaRue says "I don't know why you'd bother, you've always retained your fluids!"

LaRue then slams the door shut and goes into the bedroom to steal a twenty from Francine's wallet.

There will be no regrets when the worms come...

Line from an old war movie, one mans answer to wheather they should fight back.

Personally I want it on my headstone

"So shines a good deed in a weary world."
-- Willy Wonka (quoting Shakespeare)

The line (and movie) is pure magic when you're 8 or 9 years old.

 

[panthera]

from Rocky Horror

"You will find, I can be quite generous when the mood takes me"
"Master, we ask for nothing"
"And nothing is what you shall receive, in abundance!"

Ok, quoting that from memory, but just love the way his eyes flash when he says that...

Over the top, camp to the max...that film did more for my self-esteem as a young gay man than anything else.

Steel Magnolias

"He's a real gentlman." "I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it."

and
"If you don't have anything nice to say." "Come sit here by me."

The Goonies

When Andy is playing the organ reading the music trying to save them all

"I don't know if this note is A# or Bb(Flat)" I was the only one in the theather that laughed as it is the same black key. Had idrty looks from folks around me. Had to explain it to my wife and kids now they get a kick out of it too.

Movie Quote

The best quote I have ever heard is "Love means never having to say you're sorry". (Love Story, 1970)

 

[turquoisedude]

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

"I AM big! It's the pictures that got small" - Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard (1950)

I used to love the take-off Carol Burnett used to do of the Norma Desmond character, too, but I digress...

 

[danemodsandy]

Mine....

...."This is just like my wedding night- so exciting!"

- Butterfly McQueen, Mildred Pierce, 1945

 

[frigilux]

"I don't mind hard work as long as there is no definite object of any kind."

Oscar Wilde

 

[danemodsandy]

And Another From "Mildred Pierce"....

(In response to Jack Carson's ogling of her while she's up on a ladder)

"Leave something on me- I might catch cold!"

- Eve Arden, Mildred Pierce, 1945

 

[fa_f3_20]

"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way!" -- Jessica Rabbit

 

[iheartmaytag]

From "The Wizard of OZ"

This is for my co-workers

"What would you do if you had a brain?"

 

[panthera]

"What would you do if you had a brain?"

"For years I thought my pillow was losing feathers every night, 'till I had an ear ache and stuffed my ears. Next morning, no feathers."
I can't for the life of me remember the movie, but boy does it fit...an Abbott and Costello?

 

[danemodsandy]

And This One:

"What a curious way to do your hair- or rather, not to do it."

Marlene Dietrich to Jean Arthur, A Foreign Affair, 1948

 

[danemodsandy]

And Another...

..."What do you think it was like to be a woman in this town when the Russians first swept in?"

Marlene Dietrich in A Foreign Affair, 1948
